Fishing basket
[1][2] The ancient Egyptians used weir baskets made from willow branches to fish the Nile river.The use of fishing weirs was specifically outlawed throughout England, except at the seacoast, in Magna Carta, but little heed was given to the restrictions.Twice a day the adult Wagenya people pull out these baskets to check if there is any fish caught; in which case somebody will dive into the river to fetch it.At the end of each day the product of this ancient way of fishing is divided among all the members of the same family; including also those who did not take direct action into it.Elver fishing using basket traps, including eel bucks, has been of significant economic value in many river estuaries on the western seaboard of Europe.
